In both Seijun Suzuki’s Tokyo Drifter (1966) and Zhang Yimou’s Hero (2002), the directors expand on traditional genres specifically the yakuza and the wuxia film. The directors broaden the genres in both a thematic and aesthetic manner, but at the same time, the directors still remain loyal to the specific genres’ ideological basises and visual style.

began planning the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) where they recognized that large arrays of satellite-tracked drifters could be used to observe the entire global ocean near-surface circulation [Niiler, 2001]. Today there are more than 1000 satellite-tracked surface drifters - are also known as SVP (surface velocity programme) drifters (Figure 1) - of the Global Drifter Program (GDP) that maintains a global array of these buoys (Figure 2) and provides a data processing system for scientific

test out the ocean currents with drifters such as message bottles, barrels, drogues, and any test objects that can be used to track down ocean currents. The influence of OSCURS become clear that it acts as a stepping stone for Ebbesmeyer to unlock a new way to achieve what he couldn’t have done before. Simply measuring snarks in Puget Sound or Dabob Bay could be done before with the STD, but now with the OSCURS, he is able to track more different types of drifters in a global point of view, expanding
